I’ve always been a moderately picky eater, and my daughter (8) is extremely picky. I have tried a California roll once, and hated it. I and am well aware of it’s place in the sushi hierarchy, but the idea of raw fish seems terrifying. I grew up on skinless, boneless white meat chicken only, so biting into fat or sinew ruins chicken meals for me. Most of my issues stem from textural issues. Ive tried tofu, but couldn’t get past the texture. I only eat filet when I eat steak because everything else has gristle. Etc etc you get the point.
I know I can get by in Japan avoiding these things, but I feel like that would be robbing myself of this amazing opportunity to try authentic cuisine just because I’m scared to try it.
Can I get some recommendations on meals or snacks to dip my toe in the waters? What one kind of sushi would you recommend I try? Is karrage dark meat or might I enjoy that? Stuff like that. Thanks!
